The [Myriad Realms Trading Hub] resembled a teleportation building, occupying a very small area.
He had one more building to construct: the [Stone of Fortune].
However, constructing this building required additional conditions.
Firstly, his Luck attribute needed to reach over three hundred points, a requirement he had already fully met.
The remaining condition was the need for a three-star or higher Lucky Divine Wood to build it.
He didn't even know what Lucky Divine Wood was, so he had to search for it in the [Myriad Realms Trading Hub].
Arriving at the teleportation array of the [Myriad Realms Trading Hub], a flash of light, and he disappeared.
He arrived in a virtual space, surrounded by enormous screens. Each large screen displayed numerous smaller screens, and on these screens were labeled world names.
[Orc Trading Market], [Mermaid Clan Trading Market], [Dragonfolk Trading Market], [Werewolf Clan Trading Market], [Angel Clan Trading Market], [Sun Realm Humanoid Trading Market], [Sheltering Heaven Realm Primordial Clan Trading Market]...
The [Myriad Realms Trading Hub] could connect to myriad realms, and this "myriad" was merely an approximate number; he truly didn't know the exact quantity.
There were too many trading worlds to choose from, leaving him unsure where to explore.
However, in front of him, a search bar appeared, much like a computer screen. It even had an intelligent prompt, asking him whether to enable artificial intelligence assistance.
He clicked to enable it, curious about what this AI assistant would be like.
After clicking, the screen prompted him to choose a form. Numerous forms were available, such as: cat, dog, bird, tree, angel, demon, human, dinosaur...
He unhesitatingly chose the humanoid form.
Then, another prompt appeared: [Please select personality]: Cute, Pure, Innocent, Reserved, Sexy...
Zhou Yan: "(˘•灬•˘)"
I just wanted to select an AI assistant, and you're bugging out on me like this?
When he selected the "Sexy" type, as expected, a string of options appeared.
This service was too thorough; it felt overwhelmingly troublesome.
He could even choose voice, height, appearance, hair length, hair color, hairstyle...
Anything a person possessed, it allowed him to select.
Zhou Yan was truly speechless.
It took him a full half-hour to create a virtual AI character.
But the process of creating this character...
Was quite acceptable.
He might want to do it again when he had time.
"Please, Master, give me a name."
The AI he created had a soft, alluring voice and a voluptuous figure. Her appearance and personality were exactly to his liking.
The AI's image was simply perfect, with its golden ratio physique, curvaceous from front to back. Crucially, she could change hairstyles, voices, personalities, and outfits at will.
Even the size of her two trembling mounds could be adjusted.
"Then let's call you Xiao Wei," Zhou Yan replied.
"Greetings, Lord. How may I be of service?" Xiao Wei asked.
"What kind of service..." Zhou Yan looked at the AI before him and asked, "Can you play the xiao?"
"Certainly."
Xiao Wei conjured a xiao in her hand, brought it to her cherry lips, and began to play.
A melodious sound emerged, beautiful and enchanting.
Afterward, Zhou Yan inquired, "What other functions do you have, and how can I use them?"
Xiao Wei replied, "I can help you find the items you need in the Myriad Realms Lord Trading Market. Just tell me an item, or describe its attributes and effects, and I can find it for you."
Zhou Yan was overjoyed. This was simply the Baidu of the Myriad Realms Trading Market.
And it was connected to all the heavens and worlds. He immediately thought of a very profitable venture.
He quickly asked, "Can lords of different races travel to different lord worlds for trading?"
"I apologize, I do not have that information. I only know about item trading," Xiao Wei replied.
Alright, Xiao Wei was merely a virtual intelligent character of the trading system, only knowing about trading items. This made sense.
But how could she play the xiao earlier?
He had initially thought that reselling items from different worlds would be incredibly profitable.
Of course, such a thing required market research; he couldn't act blindly.
He didn't yet understand the trading market conditions of various worlds, so he couldn't rush into anything.
He needed to conduct market research and act based on the actual situation.
Then, he said, "Search for the material Lucky Divine Wood for me."
"Certainly, please wait a moment!"
Xiao Wei's eyes flashed with a light, and the surrounding screens rapidly changed. She said, "Found it. What star quality of Lucky Divine Wood do you require?"
"Three-star will do," Zhou Yan replied.
"Understood. I have found one thousand five hundred worlds that have three-star Lucky Divine Wood for sale. Which world would you like to visit?"
Xiao Wei inquired.
Subsequently, the names of various worlds appeared on those screens.
"Is there anyone selling it on Canglan Continent?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Yes," Xiao Wei replied.
"Then let's go to the trading world of Canglan Continent. In the future, when searching for items, prioritize Canglan Continent. If it's not available on Canglan Continent, then consider human worlds in other realms as a secondary option."
Zhou Yan said.
"Understood. I have set the search criteria for you. However, may I offer a suggestion?" Xiao Wei asked.
"Of course, go ahead," Zhou Yan replied, surprised that Xiao Wei would offer suggestions.
"When searching for items, would you like to see a price comparison to help you make a better choice?" Xiao Wei asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately said, "That's an excellent suggestion. Do you have any other suggestions? Feel free to mention them all."
"Xiao Wei has no further suggestions," Xiao Wei replied.
"Then list the price list for three-star Divine Wood for me," Zhou Yan said.
"Certainly, please view the screen," Xiao Wei said.
On a screen before him, ten worlds were displayed, each with the price of three-star Lucky Divine Wood noted.
The first world, named [Dwarf Trading Market], had a minimum price of one hundred thousand spirit coins per piece and a maximum price of two hundred thousand spirit coins per piece.
The second world, named [Elf Trading Market], had a price of one hundred twenty thousand spirit coins per piece.
The third world, named [Bewitching Clan Trading Market], had a price of one hundred thirty thousand spirit coins per piece, with a maximum of one hundred eighty thousand spirit coins per piece.
...
He noticed that the top ten prices were all from other world races selling their goods.
He looked at the prices on Canglan Continent, where the lowest was as high as one hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine per piece, and the highest even reached five hundred thousand.
He was dumbfounded. Why were the human profiteers charging so much?
However, remembering that humans were a people who loved to haggle, he somewhat understood.
From this, it could be seen that although three-star Lucky Divine Wood was precious, it was not difficult to find when considering the entire myriad realms.
He had looked at so many worlds, and for the same item, even within the same world, the prices varied.
He only saw that the prices in the [Elf Trading Market] were uniform.
